create_project method throws internal server error

Bug summary

Dear community,

I am trying to add a project to my Jira workspace. Thus, I use the following method. The key and name attributes are strings, whereas the key consists of uppercase characters. Despite the error message, the project is created and can be found in the Jira App. However, it is not created completely, as e.g. the workflow states are completely missing.

The error message I am receiving is: response text = {"errorMessages":["internal server error"],"errors":{}}

I have no clue how to fix this. Help is highly appreciated!

        )
# 3. call create_project method
jira.create_project(
            key=key,
            name=name,
            template_name="Kanban software development"
        )

Expected behaviour

Create project should create a project with no internal server error message + project created contains typical project_type states (e.g. backlog, in progress, etc.)
